Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>The juggernaut that Namibia\u2019s green hydrogen industry is expected to become moved one step closer to fruition after one of the four successful applicants for pilot projects, the Daures Green Hydrogen Village (DGHV), was launched in Windhoek on Friday.<\/p>\n

The project size is 1.5 GW (current phase 508 kg green ammonia\/day) in the Erongo region\u2019s Da\u0302ures constituency, with a capital investment value of 15.1 million euros (about N$280 million at current exchange rates).<\/p>\n

The project is expected to realise the production of green hydrogen and ammonia as well as the utilisation of its derivatives.<\/p>\n

This is further expected to lead to the sustainable production of green hydrogen, based on renewable energies as well as the establishment of a green scheme programme for ammonia nitrate crops, and the storage and transport of green hydrogen, ammonia and related derivatives.<\/p>\n

The project will further integrate application technologies for the utilisation of green hydrogen in agriculture, ammonia nitrate and cleaning detergents as well as fuel cell-operated centre pivots, boreholes and houses.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch, DGHV CEO Jerome Namaseb said DGHV will be Africa\u2019s first net zero village.<\/p>\n

He explained that during the first phase, the village will employ over 100 Namibians for construction and over 50 permanent Namibians in a modern carbon-free estate.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DGHV intends to achieve sustainable production of green hydrogen and ammonia from renewable sources, demonstration of green hydrogen applications and enablement of a green hydrogen economy with the ability to export green hydrogen and ammonia to potential off-takers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will include the sustainable production of net zero green agricultural produce from greenhouses that create local employment and partnership with research opportunities for local and international students,\u201d Namaseb noted.<\/p>\n

Daures is the largest constituency in Namibia, with a population of approximately 11 350 people.<\/p>\n

Touching on the project phasing, Namaseb stated the pilot phase one is slated for 2022\/23, while phase two is scheduled for 2023\/24. Phase three is slated for 2026\/28, and the final fourth phase is for 2029\/32.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe water supply for the project in the first phase will be sourced from commercial boreholes. Desalinated water for the subsequent phases will be piped to the project site to meet the hydrogen, ammonia, housing and agricultural water requirements. The evacuation of hydrogen for phases 2 to 4 will be through a dedicated hydrogen gas pipeline to the port of Walvis Bay. The project in its 3rd and 4th phases aims to trade liquid ammonia within the region through various ports and eventually export clean ammonia to support Europe\u2019s decarbonisation ambitions,\u201d explained Namaseb.<\/p>\n

At the same occasion, green hydrogen commissioner James Mnyupe made it clear the green hydrogen dream is a team effort, as both the public and private sectors are working together to achieve a productive outcome.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we get that right, this project will export Namibian-made molecules to other African States to start reducing the carbon content of African agriculture. We are going to start trading in goods that don\u2019t look like meat and fish, and we\u2019re going to start selling electrons and molecules to one another\u2019s tariff-free markets,\u201d stated Mnyupe.<\/p>\n

He said Namibia will overcome those who are trying to misguide and distract the country from its true inherent potential: \u201cIf we work together, Namibia, believe me, we are world-class. I see it everywhere I travel. So, start believing in yourself and start working with one another,\u201d the hydrogen commissioner advised.<\/p>\n

Delivering the keynote address, Chief Zacharias Seibeb from the Da\u0302ures Daman Traditional Authority said his community is pleased with the development that is expected to uplift his community\u2019s living standards through the created employment and local investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to be part of it. The vision, as the plan describes, is to get Namibia to be filled with opportunities and the ability to create sustainable jobs and growth in the economy. Now with this project, we hope we are going to get much-needed development in our infrastructures,\u201d said the chief.<\/p>\n
